DePuy ASR Recall

When patients receive hip replacements, they are expecting them to last for at least 15 years. Unfortunately, numerous reports from recipients of certain hip implants such as the DePuy ASR hip replacement system revealed early failure rates after only a few years following implantation. In August 2010, a DePuy ASR hip recall was issued due to higher than expected rates for revision surgeries to replace metal on metal hip implant systems. If you are a recipient of a DePuy ASR hip implant and are suffering complications or are worried about possible future issues, contact Attorney Group for Florida today. Our affiliated Florida DePuy ASR hip recall attorneys will evaluate your case to see if you qualify to file a lawsuit and will inform you of your options.

Recipients of ASR hip implants have reportedly been receiving paperwork from the manufacturer of the hip device since 2010. This correspondence could include an offer for funds for revision surgeries and medical therapy, but more than likely does not include an offer sufficient enough to cover additional damages such as pain and suffering, disability and lost income. Thus, it is beneficial to speak with a qualified DePuy ASR hip recall attorneys to be informed of all of your legal options before accepting any funds.
